Our Coverage of Sandy

The morning after Sandy landed on the eastern seaboard, New York City awoke to a disaster area. As of Tuesday at noon, ten New Yorkers have died, and a stretch of eighty houses in Queens was destroyed by fire. Much of the city lost electricity, including nearly all of lower Manhattan. Seven subway tunnels were flooded beneath the East River, and Mayor Bloomberg guessed that it will take “a good four or five days” to restore the trains. School closure has been extended through Wednesday.

The New Yorker is covering the storm and its aftermath. We will update this roundup as our coverage continues.
